I could hardly eat anything after my 30 rounds of radiation treatment. I lived on creamy mashed potatoes with butter. Cottage cheese. Egg’s anyway cooked, peanut butter and jelly , banana , power shakes with powdered supplements and boost , apple sauce, baby food jars, soups and noodles, Boost/ ensure cans pack a lot of good calories. I had to FORCE myself to eat as I had no appetite. Salt throat rinse several times a day helps. I finished July 2023 and today I’m about 95% back to normal but it has been a very slow climb back. Hang in there and throat exercises will help. The best one for me was tucking my chin into my chest and doing a HARD swallow. God speed.
